Peter Horsfield, poet

picture of Peter Horsfield poet of Fetcham Surrey England UK
Surrey poet Peter Horsfield is a regular member of the Music on Thursdays and Wednesdays at Christ Church audiences, and Chair of the Leatherhead Concert & Arts Society.

On occasion a concert inspires Peter to pen a work, and a particular poetic form will suggest itself as the most appropriate to the experience. On this page you will find a collection of those works, with brief details of the concerts and the artistes who were performing.


Peter is a retired biologist who worked for the Veterinary Laboratories Agency in recent years.  He has lived in Fetcham since 1989.  A musician from an early age, he sings with Leatherhead Choral Society. He also enjoys writing music, and shortly before retiring in 2008 began to write poetry. This was a complete surprise, and was triggered by a meditation tour to Sedona, USA, organised by the Korean holistic yoga group he attends. He has since written over 400 poems, on a wide variety of subjects, and in a number of different structures and forms.

A qualified spiritual healer, Peter is interested in sound healing, especially gongs, which have inspired another specialist set of poems.  His hobbies include oil painting, and he is a keen cyclist.

Flugelhorn Power

Three flugels find a special festive sound,
enhance three-fold, with tone so smooth and round,
the Silver Band of great Mole Valley fame,
blend harmony in subtly-balanced frame
of cornets, tubas and euphonium,
trombone and tenor equilibrium.
The shoppers come and go in Leatherhead
Swan Centre, hear our carols – Santa’s sled
in their mind’s eye drifts over snowy waste,
captures the vibrant brass we play with grace.
The tinsel-circled bucket fills with coins
and rattles heavily – that they enjoy
our music-making, near us lingering,
is evident; their body language sings.
Soon puddles underfoot accumulate;
warm breath through frosty metal resonates
the silky notes distinctive. Embouchure
displays the stamina required, ensures,
despite the numbing lips, that power prevails
through this prolonged performance; still entails
emotion, captured through dynamic range,
communicates a vital interchange.
And so, this trinity of Flugelhorn
flies high, proclaims the Christmas message born.

Peter Horsfield 22/12/2018

Inspired by playing carols on flugelhorn with the Mole Valley Silver Band in the Swan Centre, Leatherhead, December 2018

Capital Horns Concert

Capital Horns


French horns in quadruplicate –
they change positions, move around;
with intonation delicate
they blend, expand full-blooded sound.

Rich, harmonious mix of styles,
and octaves of astounding range,
from deepest bass to piercing heights,
enhance their roundness, hold the stage.

Individual parts unique,
with instruments identical,
explore the repertoire. They breathe
as one, with piquancy vital.

Syncopated hornpipe notes
begin the concert melody –
familiar nautical emotes
from Lowell “Spike” Shaw’s Fripperies.

Movements, five, from Koetsier,
A Nightingale in Berkeley Square,
three quartets penned by Tcherepnin;
fill range of colours textured there.

Peter Maxwell Davies theme,
adapted Farewell to Stromness,
gives contemplative Celtic feel
of seascapes, sheltered harbour blessed.

A Song for Japan, poignant, slow,
with resonance reverberates,
embellished triplets guide the flow
the simple melody relates.

Fourfold French horns move around
between each item; ensemble
of youthful players’ special sound
entrance in manner Capital.

Three Flutes Concert

Strange Duet


She starts alarm clock with panache:
little electronic timer –
dee-dee-dee-DEE dee-dee-dee-DEE,
insistently and incessantly,
such that one wants to stamp on it,
to shut it up immediately,
this disturbing rude imposter
which intrudes on peaceful slumber.

Now comes the clever bit:
taking piccolo to her lips,
a mischievous glint in her eye,
she blends these shrill percussive sounds,
at first in low and mournful space,
then climbing by octaves, one and two.
The syncopations, split with rests,
allow the timer to pierce through,
still incessant, but tempered
by the music’s overlay,
which relentlessly gathers pace.

At last she silences the timer,
with deft flourish. This fleeting piece
paradoxically seems
to have lasted for ever.
Briefly, she proceeds alone,
ascending rapidly – assails
the ears with one last
screeching staccato spit.


Peter Horsfield 28/4/2018
Inspired by the lunchtime performance of Wake Up! For piccolo and alarm clock, by Tilmann Dehnhard, played by Anna Hofmann, at Leatherhead Methodist Church on 26th April 2018

The Long and the Short (Haibun)


hornpipe theme, brass tone
contemplative middle
grand maestoso end

Soorjo Alexander William Langobard Oliphant Chuckerbutty – surely the longest named composer in musical history. This organist of Anglo-Indian descent, little-known except for his Song of Triumph (Fanfare), successfully pursued simultaneous careers in cinema and church music.

brief paean
fills the church with praise and hope
emanates joy

This piece of music lasts for just three minutes. The key of B flat expresses jubilation, to be replaced by a short, slower section in pensive G minor, before re-asserting the dominant, soaring mood.

long-winded of names
organ pipes project feeling
in a nutshell

Praeludium Tertium



Carlmann Kolb, a German priest,
eighteenth century organist,
name unknown amongst the greats,
given voice, today is placed –
early classical style of Bach
(not J.S., but C.P.E.)
Christ Church, Leatherhead, lunchtime, plays
harmonies that blend and lead
flowing gentle melodies,
calm, predictable, and sweet.

Suddenly, a cataclysm
renders building’s fabric harsh,
violently vibrates in stark
discords; manic diminished sevenths
crash chromatic resonance,
charge the ears unbearably –
chaos cascades from finger tips.
Could a bottle of wine be spilt?
Knocked right over in clumsy tilt –
music score affected by
Carlmann’s inebriated high.

Mental suffering, perhaps,
reveals an unexpected lapse.
Out of character music goes;
just why, we may never know,
background shrouded in mystery;
organ speaks of humble priest.

Holistic Sound (Acrostic on Buck Brass Trio)

Buck Brass Concert
Bold Mozart, from divertimento voiced,
Unlocks their gleaming instrumental choice,
Contains an integrated theme of ebb and flow;
Kaleidoscopic range of breath that grows


Beyond constraints. In chapel resonance
Reaches the vaulted heights; and stone recess
Acoustics amplify ethereal effect.
Staccato cross-explosive themes are tossed,
Serrated intervals of Anthony Plog,


To fast cadenza, ending quite abrupt.
Recap to Beethoven: these players trust,
Intuitively aspirate in synchrony
Of presto pace, reined in with harmony.


Peter Horsfield 25/8/2017

Inspired by the lunchtime concert performed in the Old Chapel of St. John’s School, Leatherhead, on 24th August 2017, by Richard Buck, trombone; Timothy Ellis, horn; and Daniel Walton, trumpet and flugelhorn.

Organ Recital Sequence (Pantoum)

Gillian Lloyd Concert

Gently flowing semiquavers,
Double manual;
Pedals dance by nimble feet,
On long and lanky limbs.

At the double manual,
Red jumper and black pleated skirt
Clothe the long and lanky limbs,
While she plays off-beat and percussive rhythms.

In red jumper and black pleated skirt
She moves, at times flamboyantly.
Her off-beat and percussive rhythms
Relax into a smooth legato.

She moves, at times flamboyantly;
Speed and crescendo build,
Replace relaxed and smooth legato
In hanging suspense. Crunchy final chord

Concludes the build of speed and crescendo,
On pedals danced by nimble feet;
The hanging suspense of crunchy final chord
Now ends the flow of semiquavers.

Organic Medley (Haibunga)



public recital
every detail on view
nowhere to hide


Pillar and pulpit fully conceal the organist; but modern technological wizardry displays a complete and dynamic image on the big screen – all minutiae recorded. (An unexpected gift for the artist, sketchbook in hand.) Stocky figure leans back slightly, grizzled face shows total absorption in the music.

Baroque and modern
dexterity, hand and foot
Yorkshire grit


Multi-tasking, with two manuals, and a row of stops, he nods to the page-turner, whose deft hand floats across the screen, before retreating once again into the shadows. Disembodied sound fills the church, vibrates to its very core.

Schumann's Opal (Villanelle)

Trio Opal concert


Swept up in passionate emotions’ flow,
I drop my pens – no longer can I draw
The sublime trio who mit Feuer grow.

Mit energie und Leidenschaft they go
Through movement 1, forward momentum more,
Swept up in passionate emotions’ flow.

Lebhaft, but not too fast; they know
That inner feeling, breathed together for
The sublime trio who mit Feuer grow.

The violin, solo, langsam, soars, and oh!
Picked up by ‘cellist, sheds a tear with awe,
Swept up in passionate emotions’ flow.

Such tiny hands; the fiery pianist throws
Cascading octaves with outstanding force;
The sublime trio who mit Feuer grow.

Imaginative gemstone’s music sows
The seed. I sit enraptured. Without flaw,
Swept up in passionate emotions’ flow,
This sublime trio plays; mit Feuer grows.


Peter Horsfield 13/4/2017

Side by Side

Side by Side concert

At 3 pm, the day of Storm Doris,
huge crowd of people flocked to see and hear
two pianists in perfect synchrony
upon the keys of our Grand Schiedmayer.

Arrival of the Queen of Sheba made
a rousing start, from opera Solomon –
such vacuous plot, set in Handelian vein.
(Light hearted quip – was less than three hours long!)

Breathtaking rhythm and variety
then followed, classical and popular;
they swapped positions, but still side by side
both breathed as one harmonious bright colour
through Dinah, Jeepers Creepers, Honky-tonk,
Debussy, Benjamin, Warlock and Brahms;
explored wide-ranged emotional nuance –
Rachmaninov, Dvorak – at their command.

Outside, the unabated gale still raged,
belied this music from a gentler source,
by inspired duo on a magic stage;
here the only storm – of rapturous applause!

Inspired by the concert recital performed at Leatherhead Methodist Church on

Acoustic Trio

The Tom Ridout Acoustic Trio

I sit so close, a vantage point to sketch
these feisty jazz performers; apprehensive
lest their volume overwhelm my ears –
but gentle fingers stroke piano keys
in smoothly rippling syncopated rhythm,
laid-back style that’s effortless in swing.


Alternate saxophones in haunting timbre
join mellifluously, blending colour –
vintage brass from nineteen-fifty-eight
is echoed by the strings of double bass
she plucks with energy mercurial,
in resonance and synchronicity.


Though, amplified, their sounds fill up the space,
they never overstep acoustic range,
remaining safely in my comfort zone.
Emotional nuances, finely honed;
relaxed and lazy, or of darker twist;
all freely emanate, finely expressed.


An unexpected instrument now joins the mix
in place of saxophone: surprising tricks
performed on his recorder, limpid tones
(more commonly Baroque) by him composed,
reiterate relaxed setting of joy –
concludes this gig, as I sit closely by,
transported to serene realm of such height –
by pencil snapshots on my page immortalised.



Peter Horsfield 30/9/2016

Solo Recital



Feat of stamina and memory
liberates her from the music score.
Fingers from cocked wrist with muscle power
span the keys in fast-cascading octaves –
what momentum carries us along,
breathtaking, relentless in its passion.
Brief silence refocusses the scene;
Florestan, Eusebius replaces,
Schumannesque, from this extreme to that;
plumbing emotions' dizzy heights and depths,
she channels every detail of intent,
faithfully portrays composer's will,
pendulum that moves with massive swings,
capturing out hearts in many moods;
all this without the aid of written notes,
faultlessly, the imagery flows,
in twenty movements through the piano linked
by virtuoso totally absorbed –
as are we, swept up in th'eternal Now,
wishing this memory would never end.

Violin & Viola Duo Concert

Special Duo


Viol-a and viol-in
blend uniquely from the string,
resonating richly through the air,
fill the church with joyful paeans. This pair
dance with Bartok, arranging –
violin with violin
cannot match their subtle overtones;
harmonies, full-bodied; highly flown
melodies abruptly end
with bows' flourish; thus they send
messages repeated from the raw,
rhythmic folk music, without a flaw.
Yellow gown, flamboyant, contrasts dark
dress and hair, interprets music stark,
visually transmits a sound so rare –
other combinations wouldn't dare
play their selected repertoire
of viol-in and viol-a.


Peter Horsfield 5/6/2016

Inspired by the lunchtime concert performed at Leatherhead Methodist Church on 2nd June 2016 by
Roma Tic, violin; and Victoria Bernath, viola.

Suite Melancholy

Melancholic, meditative, heroic;
C minor mood hangs heavily
from her focussed, gliding bow,
yet dances with her fingers
through the six sequential movements
of Suite number 5.
The weeping 'cello resonates
and amplifies tangible feeling.
Aching notes conceal inner stillness
and profound serenity –
a paradox that encompasses
both noble joy and sadness.


The lighter elevation of G major
initiates the flow of suite 1.
She plays from Anna Magdalena's
original transcript,
many squiggled notes, close-packed:
J. S. Bach channelled and translated.
Yet, even here, a wistfulness
and poignant mourning tinge the air.
A rich, dynamic, meditation
has engaged me, held me
rooted in the living moment;
purified and uplifted.


Peter Horsfield 6/5/2016   51

Recital (Rondeau)

Such monumental Mendelssohn,
sonata played by David on
the Christ Church organ, URC,
concludes this day's variety
of music, recent to Baroque.

The re-voiced pipes, in subtle song
to skilful touch and stops respond
with spectrum range, wistful to glee –
emotion Monumental.

Movement Con moto maestoso

Toccata

Note by note,
note by repeated note,
it gathers pace, more pace,
frenetically,
all in the memory,
and in his kinaesthetic fingers;
crossed hands leap gymnastically
with muscular power.
Feeling, expression, body language,
dart mercurially,
as if to evade capture.
The music journeys through peaks and troughs
of speed and dynamics,
returns to that one mesmeric note;
sets off again,
crashing and clashing octaves
in parallel and contrary motion.
Again the piano shudders on the floor,
transmits elemental vibration.
Another slowing and quietening
heralds final frantic dash
to glissandoed conclusion.

A Bag Full Of Hats (Acrostic Sonnet)


A gentle folk-band plays for our delight;
Bewitching melodies and rhythms flow
Along the strings of instruments sublime,
Give body to the voices' blend that grows
From George, supported by Steve, Pete, and Jess,
Until the room reverberates the sound,
Light-heartedly with ditties that address
Liquidity to cloak us all around –
Or poignant subjects feed our deep concern,
Find love, compassion, for us all to share.
How joyfully we dance the drum-beats' turn,
Allow the music's message to ensnare
The rapt attention of our company,
Sustain the Oneness of this harmony.

Fireworks from the Keyboard


“Remember, remember, the fifth of November.”
Everything by memory,
not a single written note to his aid –
he removed the shelf and desk beforehand,
baring all the strings in their full range.
Without safety net, he treads a tightrope;
with supreme confidence
he lets the music rule him,
surrenders completely to its momentum.
Forecast pianistic fireworks
raised our expectations in advance;
but with slow and liquid intensity
Granados initiates his programme –
with furrowed brow and total absorption
he crouches yet lower,
coaxing fingers caress keys,
tap into that well of emotion.
Then Ritual Fire Dance, sorcerer,
explodes the arena with magic.
Chopin in all his moods
fills the arched space through nimble fingers.
(Minute Waltz – surely no faster?
The name is myth, not fact.)
Reviews from the Press:
steel and velvet; spewing lava
amplified the adjectives.
His fleeting facial angles, never still,
tilt of shining scalp and pointed chin,
join the flourish of his flailing arms,
as Rhapsody in Blue concludes his play
(memorised, but style with scope to improvise),
elicits images of licking flames and thunder
on this iconic anniversary.



Peter Horsfield 5/11/2015   46
Inspired by the lunchtime piano recital given at Leatherhead Methodist Church on 5th November 2015 by Viv McLean. Viv first performed here accompanying wind players in October 2014.

Iconic anniversary because this was indeed Fireworks, Bonfire, or Guy Fawkes Night, when the English remember the failed Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. Iconic anniversary too as it was around this time in 2014 that two of the audience went to see the Schiedmayer in the donor's home and realised what a wonderful gift it was going to be for the Church and for the concerts.

Vieuxtemps


Rippling waves of dreamy melody
in elegiac mood enfold our ears.
Exquisite viola vibration,
from Grancino instrument,
resonates from depth of centuries;
fills the air as if suspended
by timeless moment.
Eyes closed, chin inclined skyward,
yet still gripping the curved wood which sings,
he glides and strokes his bow,
long-phrased, across the strings.

Now his fingers move apace
in passionate exhilaration;
body dances, eyes light up,
mercurial in fleeting facial
humour and sheer joy.
His pianist integrates perfectly,
expands full range of feeling –
musical expression
which takes our breath away.

Who would believe that this duo
has not played together before?
Intuitive synchrony speaks
without need for conscious control.
Natural wholeness emanates
from this untried combination;
and through them channels
a little-known Belgian composer,
creating two-fold novelty
of melodious delight
which rivets our attention
in one magnificent performance.

And beat an unpredictable response?
Vivacious fingering, and breath that feeds
Ensemble five-fold, leaps and skips in dance.

Discover syncopated tonguing tips.
Industrious high whistling notes in place
Slide piccolo; low grumbling bassoon kicks.

Cello and accordion,
accordion and cello,
breathe a special blend of sound
in Duo Bayanello –
with intensity they shake

swimming in amorphous drift
of nuance deep and subtle.
They writhe, sinuous and strong,
all curves and angles; volume
matches contrast resonant
in slides and scoops,and fine-tuned
tilt of head mercurial,
expressive eyebrows lifted;
hands in several places seem
to simultaneously
execute 'midst skeins of hair
in ponytail and fringes,
ever dancing with the bow,
great waves of synchronicity

staccato and vibrato;
aura of variety,

Of Brahms and Massenet


Rivers of sound cascade hemiolas –
three into two, two into three –
swept along in passionate sequences;
rising and tumbling, they burst all constraints.

Contrast of instrument, strings and piano;
mouthpieces faithful channel composer.
Mirrored by features northern and orient;
Poland and Taiwan, fair hair and dark.

Female energy blends all these differences,
integrates duo, blue eyes and black.
Soaring on dreamy wings meditational,
high note harmonic hangs in the air.

Singing tear-drops fly from her bow;
pizzicato, then smoothly phrased.
Sonorous chords from the piano below
resonate poignantly, capture the heart.

Borne aloft by tide unstoppable,
we are at one, totally One
into the moment of exquisite ecstasy,
flowing Beyond in this River of Sound.

Inspired by Scherzo in C minor by Brahms, and Meditation from Thais by Massenet; items from the lunchtime concert performed at Leatherhead Methodist Church on 10th September 2015 by Anna Orlik, violin; and Yi-Shing Cheng, piano.

'Hemiola' is the musical term describing a series of notes in which one part is counting in threes and another part is counting in twos. On the organ or piano this could mean fingers of the same hand playing in different time; for a choir perhaps sopranos are singing in three time with altos or other parts in two time - or vice versa. The term 'sesquialtera' is also used to describe this musical figure. There are examples on the 'hemiola' page in wikipedia here.

Nuance

Saxophones in quadruplicate
embody range of shapes and sizes,
blend in seamless flow of melody,
each player unique and distinct;
yet create a larger, natural Whole,
as if these four young women,
so recently come together,
had never been apart.

They breathe as One, explore the light and shade
of subtle differences –
nuances, but never nebulous –
which enhance their skilled arrangements.
Dvorak's “American Quartet”,
so familiar in strings,
takes on a reincarnation
utterly convincing,
in mellow, milky tone;
seemingly the original,
authentic, version.

Pequena Czardas
displays their virtuosity;
so many notes at speed,
beyond all imagination,
but separated by quieter,
gentle, poignant interlude,
which emphasises even more
their jubilant, rhythmic vibrancy.

All too soon this concert is concluded –
would that we could press the replay button!
Ecstatic experience, one-off,
is gone in a flash.
Afterwards, on the stage floor,
we see the sheets of music score
strewn at random, scattered to the winds,
having fulfilled their momentary purpose;
a symbol, perhaps, of the pull of life,
as, about to embark
on their respective careers,
these musicians will disband – only, we hope,
to re-convene, and once again
delight us with fresh nuances.

Contrasts


From the land of ice and fire,
integrated piano keys
join with notes of English flute
in pastoral expression free.


These two ladies work together,
honed experience they share;
music graduates distinguished
play unique and varied fare.


Sparsely populated country
joins with one a hundred times
denser – such a range of feeling
gives a spaciousness to find.


Known composer's new arrangement
leads to those we've never heard;
slow and stormy, bare fifths crunching,
dark and jagged thoughts are stirred
like the waves on rock-forms crashing
in a wilderness so vast,
resonant to bleak horizons –
life ephemeral outlasts.


Now the scene is flowing, florid,
lyrical and light of touch;
decorated trilling sequence
brings a climax full of such
effervescent joy of Higher
Being – ice subsumed in fire.

Feedback: Ear and Eye


Her dancing flute describes an arc
of movement floating with the notes
of virtuosity she breathes,
while flexing muscles, never still,
in trajectory sinuous,
express in body language smooth
an ever-changing livery
in poignant nuances and shades
of music skilfully portrayed.

Inseparable pianist,
at times flamboyant, wistful, bold,
communicates a calm support;
an integrated feedback loop
of listening; and sensitive
to each progression that unfolds,
his intuition steers a course
through repertoire so broad and rich,
from Mozart, Copland, Hindemith - - -

The artist snapshots, drawn at speed,
embody essence of this pair,
encapsulate from every angle
moving sequence of dynamic
interaction; satisfies
demand for colour; ear and eye
are thus united on holistic
path, as Tango Fantasia
ends this concert on a High.

Tripartite Brass



Sombre black attire belies
their musical performance;
gleaming metal, held aloft,
glints gold and silver; warming
tone so rich, not over-loud,
in brass that isn't brazen,
blends a harmony unique,
enfolds our ears – such haven
holds us spellbound this lunch-time,
as horn, trombone and trumpet
play in permutations bold,
with floating sound so limpid.
Piano, too, enters the mix;
these versatile musicians
bend their will to new arrangements,
music in transition.
Mozart, Haydn, light and shade,
familiar and less known
works from repertoire they take
in stride – pioneered and well-blown.
Dancing colours from the bell
of brass create a picture
perfect in its integration –
freedom flows with structure.

Flute & Guitar acrostic sonnet


From compositions freely improvised
Like shining rivers, breathed in silver notes,
Unique in style, she dances with a light
Triumphant flourish, rhythmically floats
Ethereal music. With her instrument
A thread of quicksilver enfolds our ears,
Now lively, now a haunting testament
Describes in poignant tones a well-known theme.
Guitar he integrates with textures rich;
Uncanny synchrony of chordal base
Instills interpretation sensitive –
Their partnership of “Stolen Serenades”.
Arrangements many, overlaid with skill,
Return to delight; thus our hearts they fill.

2 Cellos

Synchronised, stereophonic,
rich and sonorous,
their bows glide in tandem,
breathing together in great waves –
multidimensional sound
cloaks our ears from all sides,
echoes the colours of visual impact:
purple dress, blue shirt and tie,
dark browns and yellows of vibrating, shaped wood;
fingerboards' full expression
projects and floats beyond all bounds.
With alternating notes, high and low:
harmonics, pizzicato,
seamless legato,
repartee from instrument to instrument;
in relaxed exuberance and joy
these two players meld into One,
yet each remains distinct and separate,
each contributes a vital part
to a Whole which is more than their sum.

Guitar Moods


Fluorescent orange shirt shouts loud,
belies the melancholic melody
which gently whispers, soft and wistfully,
coaxed by nimble fingers' plectrum sound.

Sitting on the new-found comfy stool,
adjustable in height, with padded seat
of black and sombre leather domes, he feeds
music to our ears, in heartache mood.

Interspersed with sequences fast-tripped,
and unexpected abrupt “wake-up” chord
to end a movement, he plays heavenward;
great variety, composers picked.

Encore follows programme deep immersed
in present moment's focus. With him here
his wife in Spanish sings a plaintive air –
duet with the strings in joy is heard.

The Church has a newly-donated Schiedmayer baby grand piano which is used by the Thursday concerts and by the Church - indeed it was played for a recent wedding.

Peter Horsfield was inspired to write the poem below as the piano was played for the first time by an experienced young concert pianist. We don't really compare ourselves with the Sydney Opera House, but it was pleasing to see that venue among Marios Panteliadis' previous engagements! Marios gave a wonderfully expressive performance and can certainly be said to have put our new piano through its concert paces.


You will find details of his 30th April 2015 concert on this linked webpage.


Tested to Destruction


On two stacked chairs he bounces precariously –
Schiedmayer piano visibly shakes on the carpet,
while brooding, percussive crescendos
cascade, ever more intense,
then die to a melancholic tranquillo
outpouring of emotion.
Surrounding silence hugs his dark-suited form,
absorbed in the flowing moment;
with total focus he holds his audience.
Renewed stormy rhythmic agitation
fills the instrument's compass,
explores its limits –
in thundering savagery
his fingers assail the keys;
yet maintain controlled precision,
every complicated
melodic progression in its place,
every dissonant chord and crashing octave
perfectly executed.
By primitive, primeval dance
of Hungarian Liszt and Bartok,
he is possessed; and we with him.
Not wanting the concert to end,
I am abruptly jolted from my reverie.
The piano has survived well –
its forerunner might not have been so fortunate;
in the mind's eye
exploding wooden splinters strew the stage,
mirroring the music's passion.

Peter was once more inspired by a lunchtime concert, this time our 2014 season finale which was played by Iosif Purits and Bartosz Glowacki, both accordion playing masters students at the Royal Academy of Music. From the tiniest of sounds to a note you would have thought came from an organ's pedal pipes, these two players amazed us with the expressive versatility of their instruments.

          Accordion (Part-Acrostic)

Artist's challenge: writhing snake-like moves
Constantly change its shape with every breath,
Contain within pulsating, curving box
Of many buttons' input, a music
Repertoire so different from the squeeze-box
Dance-band stereotyped image; rises
Incandescent with depth of emotion.
Oh what volume, together with delivery;
Nuances of facial angles never still.

His chin at times rests on the instrument,
as if to coax last drop of resonance,
may tilt aloft, or hide behind the box
with furrowed brow; fleeting duration gone
in rapid turns, and synchronicity
of nimble fingers mirrors a spooky
sonority that lingers quite spell-bound
amidst the aura. Ever-fluid sound,
now shared in lively duet, reaches page
encapsulated by dynamic pen.

Most of us found the Bartok violin and piano sonata on 13th November 2014 fairly challenging. Diana King worked on ten sketches during the concert, and Peter Horsfield found inspiration to produce this poem:

Blistering Bartok

Frantic and frenetically glides her bow upon the strings:
high-pitched squeals and sharp glissandi, jagged intervals she sings.
Jarring discords wrench the gut, in virtuoso sliding scales,
broken bowstring like a disembodied whiplash cracks a trail.
Piano keys crash louder, faster, dissipating far and wide
energy's percussive spread; unstoppable the music's tide.
Briefly in Adagio, the sounds are softer, slow, sustained,
wailing in appassionato, like her hair, on edge, and splayed.
In amongst atonal crunching, C sharp minor plays a hand:
tragic mood and dark foreboding grip me with an iron band.
Out of comfort zone I'm catapulted with a force so strong –
as the pace accelerates, exhilarates, I'm drawn along
irresistibly: our artist, too, is influenced by this,
sketches at a speed unparalleled; ten pictures capture bliss.

Peter Horsfield 13/11/2014   30

Inspired by the lunchtime concert performed at Leatherhead Methodist Church on 13th November 2014 by Sara Cubarsi, violin, and Seungwon Lee, piano.

This concert provided a strange, jangled resonance with my turbulent state of mind, elicited by the present state of chaos at home, in the midst of building work – from which I was grateful to make a temporary escape.

Natural Virtuoso

Anna Hashimoto and her clarinet are familiar sights and sounds for our lunchtime concert audience. On October 23rd 2014 Anna was accompanied by pianist Daniel King Smith in three works that between showed off their respective virtuosity - and as Peter says here, used just about every note that exists on both instruments.

Peter had decided to sketch during the concert, but nonetheless found a moment to jot down this haiku:


manic trills
piano takes a bashing
agile clarinet

Later, Peter expanded the ideas into this poem:

Natural Virtuoso


Manic trills
(the Devil of Tartini)
adapted from the violin
cascade her instrumental range,
fluid as her long black hair,
effortlessly, ever-moving –
surely the most notes in any concert!
At times the disembodied sound
seems to come from separate source;
melody and trill sustained together
defy all rational explanation.
Lyrical and operatic tone
(from short-lived Bellini),
spectrum of dynamic mood and colour,
gives way to fast and furious jazzy swing
(Themes from Carmen – Rosenblatt),
and now the piano takes a serious bashing;
no note is left untouched
by clarinet or keyboard –
each tossed in aphoristic repartee
towards exuberant, breathtaking climax.
Trills are stilled,
as we suspend our disbelief.

The Baroque


In her remarks during the Songs of the English Baroque concert on 28th August 2014, Anna Tam spoke of the origin of the word "baroque" - a French term for a misshapen or imperfect pearl. The word also appears in Spanish and Portuguese as "barroco".

Peter Horsfield jotted down this haiku at the time:


misshapen pearl
grounded by boundary
soars in pure sound


Later Peter noticed that the term "misshapen pearl" has fourteen letters - which lends itself to the acrostic sonnet form. Here is the result:

Misshapen Pearl (acrostic sonnet)


M
y ears are resonating to the sounds
In gentle purity ascending free,
Setting the boundaries, with bass to ground
Such beauty; music from a bygone era
Has expressed by voice and lute in turn
An ornamented passage, clear and grand,
Performed despite seeming deformed, and merged,
Elaborate in detail; understands
Nuances of emotion; light and shade
Project an inner feeling, fast or slow.
Exuberant or melancholy ways
Arise spontaneously; sounds that grow
Rejoice in life's rich texture, share with me
Listening a sense of timeless pedigree.
Peter Horsfield 30/8/2014   25 & 26

Theorbo


It has longest neck, and two sets of pegs,
and so many strings you lose count –
the seven bass ones cantilevered out
to the side, beyond the frets,
open and resonant, deepest of tone,
generously accommodate fingers.
Its body profile, striated and shaped
like a beetle's elytra, or humbug sweet,
hides from view in performance:
only the elegant golden face,
the sounding-board embellished by triad
of ornately fenestrated circles,
contrasts the chocolate stretching stem,
as his dexterous digits move softly,
generate melancholy melodies;
bygone Baroque, yet here in this moment,
timeless and poignant in absorption.
Body language in total focus,
etched on his brow, dark but serene,
emanates far-ranging French music,
reluctant to break concentration,
even when sound fades into silence,
and the instrument's vibrations hang still.

Japanese Duo

Concert of contrast and coherence
captures poignant mood-swings,
from dark and anguished
to gentle, dreamy, joyful.
Violin and piano
communicate with interplay and sensitivity:
tumbling, percussive chords alternate
with lyrical legato,
passionate pizzicatos
blend with rippling arpeggios.
Jewish, Japanese, Norwegian
(Bloch, Hikaru Hayashi, Grieg),
integrate a special character,
interpretation unique in music –
reflected in their flowing dresses,
turquoise and green;
and female Oriental features,
emphasised by different statures,
enhance our sound experience;
harmonious and holistic balance.

Wind of Atéa

Atéa, Polynesian god of light,
embodied as an icon by this group,
blows rippling breezes, and transmitted through
the mouthpiece of a flowing vocal line
ignites Divertimento by Mozart;
dancing dynamic by the Trio voiced,
synchronised breathing spreads infectious joy,
warmly embraces audience from the heart.

Their instruments describe such graceful curves;
spontaneous in geometric form
the visual figures out of air are born
that with these floating melodies emerge.

“Docking” maneouvres with the music stands
precariously balance sheets of score,
as duet permutations render more
variety, while freeing pair of hands.

Poulenc: eccentric, syncopated notes
reveal a humour angular, abrupt,
mirrored by posture of bassoonist gaunt;
all arms and legs, as if by Hoffnung stroked.

The Chase, duet for flute and clarinet,
exchanges themes at speed;cross-rhythms fly
between, Peter-Pan-like across the sky,
and aerially helter-skelter set.

Gossec Gavotte (who's he?) the concert ends
in trio form; each lively instrument
now tosses music to the firmament.
Alas! no artists; but Atéa sends.

Joyful Trio Transforms

Arriving late, after bank meeting
which seriously overran,
mind spinning, and addled with figures,
I collapse into a comfy chair.
Instantly, a warm cloak envelops me;
a ripple of resonating sound,
synthesis of 'cello, flute and piano,
transports me to a timeless place,
every care discarded with abandon.
Like the musicians, in total absorption,
I share the ever-moving moment,
Martinu – inspired, strange yet familiar,
embodied by this trio;
individual, yet blended
magically, they project
an aura intensely palpable,
that runs the moods from fast and passionate
to slow and lyrical, and back again.
Dextrous fingers, body language,
toss the melody around
from instrument to instrument,
and integrate a rich chordal texture
which floats suspended in the ether,
embedded in the very fabric
and colour of this church.
Numinous quality – I could listen all day,
do not want it to end.
Back they come for lively Haydn encore.
The music dies away, but scene remains –
bathed and cleansed by youthful enthusiasm,
joyful in heart, I go on my way.

TRIO CONCERT - 24 April 2014
Picture
After one organ concert a member of the audience thanked Graham Davies and said how nice it was to be able to watch him play, because of the television screen in Christ Church. She hadn't realised before how many things an organist does at once, and commented that it was like watching Graham "tap dance on the pipes". The phrase tickled something in Peter Horsfield's mind and he wrote this poem:

Wednesday at Christ Church (Haibun)
O great swell
Reach for the firmament
Graham's feet
A tap dance on the pipes
Nimbly mirrors fingers deep down
Outside the church, rain drums heavily, wind howls, trees bend and sway. Our melodic oasis in here reflects peace from every corner.
TV screen
focused audience
disembodied sound
Peter's broad back periodically obscures everything else on the monitor. A responsible job, page-turning! (Not to mention re-setting the organ stops.)

Progression of variety embodies common theme: English music (Bach notwithstanding), consonance of keys, eras of history, loud and soft, mournful and joyful, classical harmony,
rousing Parry
fills the church – almost
we want more!


Peter Horsfield 21/10/2013   20
As Peter's poem mentions, there were moments when the page-turner/stop-puller's form filled the television screen and the organist's actions were less visible.

                Drawing Bach


A spikeless 'cello sits between his knees,
Of polished wood from era long ago;
Suspended in the Now by second Suite
Of J.S.Bach, so intricate the notes
His supple fingers play. Melodic line
Emerges from the complex chordal web,
A self-sufficient solo he recites,
In joy and triumph by the Spirit led.
Four strings now change in piccolo to five:
With subtle tones this instrument he bows
Suite 6, in resonance our ears delight –
Vibrating gut the heart's emotion grows.
The artists chart his movements; with the brush
They integrate this challenge, wholly trust.


Peter Horsfield 24/10/2013   19

Alex Rolton played the English Baroque cello for Suite No 2, and a recent copy of a Baroque Violoncello Piccolo for Suite No 6. These two cellos, and the original on which the piccolo is based,  are part of the Royal Academy of Music's collection. Unlike the modern cello, Baroque cellos have no spike. They are gripped between the player's lower legs.

Basset Clarinet (Acrostic Sonnet)



Basset clarinet has fourteen letters –
A tiny fraction of the sounds she plays
So fast and fluid; frees us from the fetters
Set by expectation. To amaze,
Extension of the lower notes so rich
Transforms experience we have today;



Cantabile she strokes the range of pitch,
Light-hearted, silky tone, and joy her way.
Arpeggios flow effortlessly upward,
Rhythms, Bach and jazz, variety,
Instil in us a spellbound fascination –
Natural her feats of memory.
Ensemble with her pianist precise
Treats us with this chromatic paradise.

Baroque Thursday (acrostic)


Breathing purity of limpid tone,
Awash with pearls of melancholic voice:
Recorder and flute project such vibrant rhythm,
Ornamented with figures of their choice.
Quickly or slowly, haunting melodies compel,
Underpinned by sublime harmony;
Eva and Merlin weave their magic spell.


Treacherous the keys beneath his fingers:
Home-built harpsichord dimensions test
Unseats Graham's composure only briefly –
Rises to the challenge, plays with zest.
Simplicity conceals exacting skills;
Dancing rivulets of sound we hear.
Attenuation rapid, vivid, crisp,
Yields us rich reward from Higher Sphere.

On the seat beside her lie three flutes of different sizes; silver, gold, black. With spontaneous joy she glides from one to another, even in the midst of the music.

Guitar blends poignantly, focused in the moment, disciplined, yet liberated by absence of musical score. His supple fingers move with coordinated precision. Clip-on extension, increasing now to ten strings, adds deep sonority.

Strings of Mozart and Brahms



Inseparable entity,
five instruments as one,
this organism lives and breathes
Mozart's poignant music
with rich emotional expression;
sobbing sighs, throbbing quavers,
are mirrored in the players' body language –
urgent progression, dark, grieving descents,
chromatic lines of many moods.
Tension, almost unbearable,
has to find emotional release:
waterfall of joyful triplets –
my spirit soars with their dancing bows
on Maiastran wings.
Their faces light up,
though haunting theme lingers,
and draws all together.
So different now, yet complementary,
Brahms on symphonic scale
slips from their bows in ecstasy,
powerful and passionate,
bursting with the sounds of nature,
as it stretches chamber music's limits.
I am once again transported
to a magic place
of transformation,
enabled by this multifaceted group;
inspired cohesive instrument.

Strings from the Heart



Would that words could soar,
to embody their music
faithfully.


Maiastra
tugs at our heartstrings,
flies unfettered.


Eye contact
regulates harmonious group
from cellist outwards.


Humorous Haydn
mischievously interplays
many surprises.


Beethoven's pinnacle,
complex emotional mosaic:
Muss es sein? Es muss sein!


Now Cesar Franck:
passionate agitation,
piano quintet.


Five-fold strings key
stormy waves from bow to bow,
player to player.


They communicate
and carry us with them
to a higher plane.


Resonating strings
find ethereal voice to sing
moving tear-drops.


Burst of ecstasy
expands beyond containment –
mere words can soar.

Bartok/ Schumann (Acrostic Sonnet)

Begins this concert: Hungary, Chinese,
Achieved by two young ladies; violin
Resounds with piano, passionate and free,
To music challenging. Exquisite tone
O'erlays the crashing discords. Rapid flows
Kaleidoscopic feeling from the heart;


Such heavy going sound, yet moved to tears,
Contrasting styles an integrated art.
Hungarian American now plays
Upon the keys alone, romantic style;
Magnetic moods of dark and humour take
Along Eusebius and Florestan.
Narrating modestly, these vibrant stars
Now shine in skill together: they'll go far.

2-bas

Two young men both confident and modest
hold us all completely spellbound
with unique arrangements – magic skill blest,
on two tubas with such rich sound.
Opening number with “ventriloquism”
from behind, so unexpected,
plays Amazing Grace, and eloquently
on the treble tuba floated.
Milky tone, propelled by gasps of breathing,
spreads on warm vibration's beat
through our bodies, and the very fabric
of this church reverberates
humour, mystery and melancholy,
graceful curves of gold and silver;
they don't take themselves too seriously –
sharing joy and fun they're eager
to communicate relaxing rhythm
in the instrument's wide range.
Fine display of their professionalism
elegantly fills the stage.
Now they change the scene to voice and piano:
Flanders and Swann, piano and song;
tongue-twisting words, French horn tune so well known –
2-bas now to five instruments grown.
Speed and intricacy of the Bach suite
rivals precision of the strings.
Fnugg – the smallest dust speck, or a snowflake,
rises triumphant with the chords they sing:
didgeridoo, or chanting monks, amaze us,
all in repertoire of these two 2-bas.

Cello

He sits, alone,
with his polished instrument,
modest, unaccompanied, exposed, nowhere to hide;
so brave.
Sole focus of communication,
he slides effortlessly into sound,
resonates the range to fill the space,
vibrates air and wood and stone,
sings our very bodies with his music:
supersonic high notes – incredible harmonics –
blend the low and sonorous pitches
that famously personify “cello”.
And now, Britten's fugue
generates experience hitherto unheard:
left-hand pizzicato accompanies the bowed melody,
two techniques together,
with unbelievable skill.
Intricately he weaves the disparate lines.
On more familiar ground, we hear a suite of Bach,
uniquely interpreted:
nuances flow seamlessly,
mood and colour in great variety,
at one with our emotional response.
Such brilliance draws us into the Now:
all extraneous thoughts evaporate
with the healing power of Cello.

Maiastra


This quartet now liberates the sound
that sings aloft, and outward from the strings;
as Pasarea Maiastra – magic bird
of Romanian mythology –
symbolises flight and frees us from
constraining boundaries of matter;
so the players, tuned in to the whole,
form faithful channels of expression
for the composer's intent.
(Mozart, Walton, Dvorak, each
pose unique requirements and challenge.)
Spontaneously their bows dance,
begin and end the movement with a flourish;
one vast, corporate, synchronised breath
integrates the body language
with every phrase,
dynamics from the merest whisper
to a mighty power that fills the church.
Fast and slow, rhythmical and melodic,
manifested aurally and visually,
they express emotions warm and light,
or mysterious in their dark solemnity.
Above all, these players, played by the Spirit,
emanate infectious Joy,
light as the magic bird whose name they share.

Countertenor (Acrostic)

Contrapuntal melodies are soaring
Over us. Baroque fluidity, that
Underpins his vocal skill and texture,
Nurtures purity of tone, and blossoms
Tirelessly throughout a range amazing.
Effortless articulation, sacred
Rainbow colours, secular and loving,
Tempers the organ's accompaniment,
Even though the two men, by position,
Need to integrate with intuition,
Operating blind throughout this concert:
Reach the heights of artistry – inspire us.

The layout of Leatherhead Parish Church has the restored Thomas Parker organ in the North Transept, with the solo singer in the main body of the church, beneath the pulpit.

Four bassoons in concert drew a large audience to Leatherhead Parish Church, including local poet, Peter Horsfield. The bassoon is a pretty versatile instrument which covers all the notes from the lowest a bass might sing to the top of the mezzo-soprano range. With four bassoons, they tell us, anything is possible. . .

Music on Thursdays: unusual quartet

Bassooniac, Bassoonatic,
Bassooniastic skills – their wit
and humour play throughout a range
of notes astounding, rhythm made
with moving melodies combined.
Four corners of the British Isles,
from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales,
two men, two women, quartet brave
and pioneering in their field:
they breathe and play as one, conceal
their individual traits within
dynamic, living organism.
Unusual harmonies that blend
a resonance unique and send
a joyful message from the heart
access our deep emotions. Are
we hearing sounds that we can share,
which take away our every care?
Variety of music's feast
enthusiastically released
has held us spell-bound in this church.
Lunch-time recital carries a torch
with love expressed to herald this,
the song of the Bassoonatics.

Bassoonatics Concert - 12 July 2013

When a musician is booked to play the piano or the organ they can be fairly certain the venue will contain an instrument - although there is no guarantee of its quality! Other players bring their own instrument. That's easy for the piccolo player, it's not too difficult for the trumpeter, the violinist, the clarinet or oboe player. Considering the cello, French horn or tuba player we start to realise how cumbersome some instruments are.

Anyone who knows a percussionist, double-bass player or harpist recognises that they are in a class of their own. Usually the estate-car owning class - or perhaps these days they have a 4x4 or a people-carrier. Peter Horsfield came across one whose solution to carrying a harp was rather more imaginative. She had bought, and converted, an old hearse.

Life in Death (Harp and Hearse)


I hired a hearse to house my harp
When I transported it to play;
Reactions reverential drew
From passers-by along the way.

A vehicle unusual then,
So many years ago, to find
When choice was limited for size;
Its cargo fitted in behind
When in the place of coffin sited
After stripping out the rear,
Made space for instrument so awkward
Shaped; now carried without fear.

Ethereal tones would emanate
From this dark symbol of our death;
A paradox of joy and beauty
Banished bravely with its breath
The sorrow felt by those bereaved,
Association funeral,
And sombre feelings soon relieved
By harp, harmony integral.

So when you next can hear a harp
That's housed and hidden in a hearse,
The strains emerging, life from death,
Will be a blessing, not a curse.

Ark of Menuhin Hall


It floats on the turbulent waters
Of life's vicissitudes,
Resembling a Noah's ark, upside-down,
With prow-shaped ceiling
Which reflects back the resonating melodies
From the stage of existence,
Harmoniously encircled
By the oval wood-lined hall;
Serene haven for fine-tuned musicians
To share, from the heart, their talents with us.


The experience creates within-ness,
Mirrors the structure of a musical instrument:
The violin bridge, the hollow body.
Paradox of inversion, yet reaching out,
Like walking on the sky, but grounded in sound.
Vibrations are created, sending and returning;
They attenuate, but never die, as they melt back
Into the eternal Silence.


This designed location, inspired by genius,
Accesses and preserves the spiritual dimension:
Ever-present salvation
Amidst uncertainty and change,
Venue for healing.

Double Bass

Resonating strings uplift my soul,
From the deepest notes' encircling bowl
Of healing sound, ascending higher.

Higher still they rise; beyond the range
Of expectation finds a feeling strange;
Vibration sets my heart on fire.


Paganini of the double bass,
Virtuoso plays the notes apace
With love and skilful intricacy.

Fingers, crab-like, clamber down the strings
Towards the bridge; the gliding bow now sings
From there ethereal tones unworldly.


Pioneer self-taught, a man unique,
Spontaneous the joy he spreads; to seek
Such wonder: “The note must say I love you”.

Barriers of convention soon dissolve;
With inspiration limitless involve
His audience, the rhythms give you.


Communicate he makes priority
Above the technical; sonority
Of deep emotion spreads to me,

Also humour; different styles express
Astounding range, the music to address
Our sharing with humility.

Concert Recording

Challenge of recording, in Menuhin Hall,
Experience rewarding is shared by all,
Resonance astounding, musicians find,
Enthusiasm sounding, common purpose bind.

Stamina and patience; for many mistakes
Necessitate silence around the re-takes.
Getting it perfect; a juggle with time,
Blending the object, quality prime.

Electronic wizardry enhances the effect,
Synthesising freely, no details to neglect.
Background sounds to edit out, technological skill,
Blemishes to do without, the aim to fulfil.

From live performance different demands musicians face;
More chances, exuberant, the notes correctly place;
But both need feeling from the heart; spirit, relaxed, acquired,
Team dedication vital part; conductor so inspired.

Acoustic Triangle

In the resonant acoustics of Menuhin Hall,
Three men in perfect harmony, giving their all;
Pianist; double bass; sax, or clarinet,
Professional experience, talent so well met.


From silky tone, dreamy, melancholy,
To vibrant rhythm, crescendo of dynamics,
Improvisation, unbelievable skill,
So difficult to tell where it mixes with the practised.


Such is Jazz, full of humour, full of joy,
Exploring the full range of emotional expression,
Unusual effects, with more orthodox arrangements,
Unexpected twists keep the audience enthralled.


Body language: feeling each other's cues,
Individual virtuosity, dance-like, blends,
Completely relaxed, living in the moment,
Together with the audience, enjoying great fun,
A sense of timelessness, the end of the piece
Of music not apparent; keeps going, then, suddenly,
STOPS.


Rapturous applause in Menuhin Hall,
The three musicians happy, having given their all;
Back they come for encore, still they play from the heart,
Take their bow in group hug, then from stage depart.

The impression lingers on – back again one day,
Deep encounter with sound, exhilaration to say.

Poignant grave-stone in green landscape:
“He who makes music in this life
Makes music in the next.”


Spirit of Yehudi continues
Onward in music making,
New hall, such resonance,
Harmonious instruments vibrating,

Oval-shaped; floor, walls, and ceiling
Entirely clad in pine-wood boarding,
Like being within body of 'cello,
Acoustically designed plan, so mellow.

Dedicated students' rapport,
Highest standard, virtuoso,
Playing together, eye contact,
Soloist feats: technique and memory,

Some so young, yet precocious, mature,
Sheer joy and love come through.
Vivaldi, Grieg, Vaughan Williams,
All in concert faithfully portrayed,

Channelling the essence of musical ascension,
Audience held in rapt attention.
Awed silence at the end, then sharing
Joint venture, uplifting and caring.
